local regulatory requirements that municipalities must meet on the way to
getting a Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan developed, approved and
ultimately implemented.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Representatives from the Department of Environmental Protection, the
Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) Office and the Cape Cod Commission
will explain each agency’s review process, and how these could impact wastewater
projects.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In addition, a seasoned
wastewater engineer and a public works director will both share lessons from
their experience of working on wastewater facilities projects that other towns
can apply to their own context.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Participants will leave with a very clear understanding of the regulatory
context within which wastewater planning efforts take place<SPAN

aspects. <SPAN class=132240021-09102009><FONT color=#0000ff>A detailed
